Folks:
Apologies for the beginner nature of this query...
why won't this compile? It is the only open file and is saved, looks
like a main program to me.
program Hello;
begin
writeln ('Hello, world.');
readln
end.
getting:
No main program found in open files. Can not build.
What OS are you running, what compiler version, and what's the name of
your file?
$ vi hello.pas
$ fpc hello.pas
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.0 [2016/05/04] for arm
Copyright (c) 1993-2015 by Florian Klaempfl and others
Target OS: Linux for ARMHF
Compiling hello.pas
Assembling hello
Linking hello
/usr/bin/ld: warning: link.res contains output sections; did you forget -T?

$ ./hello
Hello, world.

Above done on a Raspberry Pi running Debian. If you're not used to this
environment, $ is the shell prompt.
Notes: Example program was pasted from your mail. Ignore the message
about -T. I hit return after output to satisfy the ReadLn.
